What Paul knew to be true

The Apostle Paul testified that the resurrection of Jesus was true. And he held to this truth at great personal cost to himself.

It’s one thing to hold a position when it brings great benefit. It is much more significant, and much more persuasive, when a person holds a position in spite of great pain.

Paul wrote this about Jesus:

“…Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him.”  1 Corinthians 15:3-8
